What are the dangers of excessive foreskin in children?

Long foreskin in children is a disease, most of which are caused by congenital reasons. Long foreskin in children has a great impact on women's physical health and may even affect their future pregnancy. Many parents do not pay enough attention to this condition of their children, which leads to disastrous consequences. So let us take a look at the dangers of excessive foreskin in children.

It can lead to sexual dysfunction and even affect ejaculation. Some people may develop prostatitis and then infertility.

After a man reaches puberty, his penis develops rapidly and increases in size. The foreskin also retracts upward to expose the glans penis. Some people have phimosis because the foreskin opening is too small and cannot be turned up to expose the glans penis. There are also people whose foreskin opening is not small and can be turned up to expose the glans penis, but the foreskin is too long to cover the entire glans penis and the external opening of the urethra. This condition is called foreskin phimosis, which is the most common congenital malformation of the male genital tract.

An excessively long foreskin affects urination and can easily lead to infection. When the foreskin is too long, the urine flow is blocked, causing the urine flow to be divided and the clothes to become wet. The foreskin often secretes a smelly substance called smegma. Because it is not cleared in time, it creates a good condition for the growth and reproduction of bacteria, causing balanoposthitis. There is erosion of the glans penis, redness, swelling and pain of the foreskin or urethral opening, and purulent secretions. Long-term and repeated inflammation can cause urethral stenosis, further aggravating urination difficulties. Because the urine produced by the kidneys cannot be discharged smoothly, the renal pelvis and ureter dilation will occur over time, which is called hydronephrosis. The bacteria can also migrate upward into the bladder, ureters, or kidneys, causing a urinary tract infection. Fluid accumulation and infection often impair the function of the kidneys. The smegma and sediment in the urine accumulate together to form foreskin stones as big as soybeans, which can easily be mistaken for tumors and cause mental stress in patients.

What are the dangers of excessive foreskin in children? The above has given a detailed answer. The phenomenon of phimosis in children must be treated in time. Modern medical technology has made great progress, so it is very simple to treat such male diseases. But you should seek treatment as soon as possible and don't delay your illness.
